Graphics card or CPU letting me down

[bakes0310]

My setup:
[email protected]
8gb ram
670 2gb SLI
2560x1440 Res
Windows 7 64bit

For me I like to play games at max settings (EVERY setting) and the following games are at unplayable fps for me.
Metro LL
Arma 3
Tomb Raider
BF 4 Beta
Crysis 3

I think arma 3 is cpu intensive. BF4 Beta is well in beta so that's unfair really. But I think its graphics cards that make the difference. BF3 I couldn't play at ultra when I had a 5970, but when I went to 670 sli it was no problem.

I was kinda hoping it was my cpu letting me down as I really like my 670sli plus I paid just over £700 on release
Kinda conflicting reports guys, lets say its the cpu. Ive been out of the loop so I looked on the store. I see theres a chip called Haswell 4770K and one called Ivybridge-E 4930K. Which one would a gamer who values his Frames over costs should pick.

4930K is a no brainer. I feel we will see more and more games pushing our CPU's (at last).

Really, will I notice a big difference. Also what are they like to overclock, would 4.6Ghz be easy enough. If I did get it at 4.6Ghz how would that be compared to my [email protected]?

Cheers greg that's a big difference in benchmarking. I care more about fps though being a gamer
Im looking into seeing what I can afford, as ill need to buy cpu/motherboard/ram/.
